Since it's the middle of the day, it's not immediately apparent how well-decorated his little three-wheeler is. But
This isn't the first time his karaoke sesh in the middle of the road has gone viral
It was last year that comedian Samay Raina shared a video of him singing at a traffic signal in Andheri.
"Aisa laga hi nahi ki Andheri signal pe fasa hu. What a lovely guy! Watch till the end (I didn't even feel like I was stuck at Andheri signal. Watch till the end)," Raina captioned the video he shared on X on October 31, 2023.
In the clip, the auto driver tells Raina that the only reason he does these impromptu karaoke sessions is to kill boredom while stuck in traffic. He also gets to entertain other people so that's an added bonus.
Around the same time, music composer and singer Amit Trivedi caught up with him too somewhere in Bandra and posted the following video on Instagram.
"This gentleman, somewhere in Bandra turned his humble ride into a concert stage on wheels.. this filled my heart with so much joy!
It¡¯s moments like these that remind me that there¡¯s so much talent in our incredible country. I wish I had the opportunity to wait and have a chat with him.
Nonetheless, watching him really made my day and I hope it makes yours too," he wrote in the caption celebrating his talent.
